Democrats are Fighting Against Commonsense Election Protections

Rapid Response

The overwhelming majority of Americans are calling to pass the SAVE America Act — commonsense election protections to ensure only American citizens are voting in U.S. elections — but Democrats are ignoring them.



The American people are demanding secure elections:

  • 81% support requiring a valid ID to vote
  • 74% support requiring proof of citizenship to vote
  • 68% overall support the SAVE America Act

Instead of working for the American people, Democrats are spinning insane lies about the SAVE America Act:

 

  • Senator Peter Welch apparently thinks you don't need to be a resident of a state to vote in its elections.
  • Senator Jeff Merkley says it’s “about stopping groups from voting who tend to vote for Democrats.”
  • Rep. Greg Landsman says it’s “the biggest voter suppression effort by the United States Congress since Reconstruction.”
  • Rep. Susie Lee thinks Americans are too stupid to get an ID to vote.

Democrats are promising to block the SAVE America Act in the Senate. Why are Democrats fighting so hard against ensuring only American citizens are voting in U.S. elections?
